Promotional Methods Aimed at Increasing Sensory Input
• Table 6.2
8
Differential Threshold (Just Noticeable Difference – j.n.d.)
• Minimal difference that can be detected between two similar stimuli
• Weber’s law– The j.n.d. between two stimuli is not an absolute
amount but an amount relative to the intensity of the first stimulus
– The stronger the initial stimulus, the greater the additional intensity needed for the second stimulus to be perceived as different.

9
Marketing Applications of the J.N.D.
• Marketers need to determine the relevant j.n.d. for their products– so that negative
changes are not readily discernible to the public
– so that product improvements are very apparent to consumers

Marketing practices of JND
• Product improvements– Example of Goddards’
• Price increase• Package change

Packaging and the J.N.D
• Coca-Cola

12
Subliminal Perception
• Stimuli that are too weak or too brief to be consciously seen or heard – They may be strong enough to be perceived by
one or more receptor cells.• Is it effective?– Extensive research has shown no evidence that
subliminal advertising can cause behavior changes– Some evidence that subliminal stimuli may
influence affective reactions
